Sew Boating

This week I have been working on an updated version of the boat/sea side design I posted about here. Seriously, embroidery is taking over my life. Help meeee.

I mentioned that I thought there could be more detail added to the design using a thinner stitch but the more I thought about it, the more I thought that no added detail could look just as good, just a simple outline design. I used the loyal split stitch throughout and I think it looks pretty pretty good although I am seeing blue outlines in my sleep now...

I find that I am doing a lot of my embroidery on scrap pieces of material, so for this one I added the design to a tote bag. Don't you think it would look great on a beach bag?
